Programs Use cases
From MoodleDocs
Use Case 1: Onboarding of new staff
Coming soon...
Use Case 2: Program with courses released periodically
Use case: Users have to be certified once, that is without re-certification, and certification expires after a specified period.
Example: A program contains 12 courses and on every 1st of a month a course should be released. Course 1 will be released on 1st of January, course 2 on 1st of February, course 3 on the 1st of March, and so on.
Solution: Make use of the hiding course until start date feature.
- Enable the task Show courses on start date (\core\task\show_started_courses_task). Check out Scheduled tasks for details.
- Create your 12 courses and add them to a program
- Give each course a start date in the future (Jan 1st, Feb 1st, Mar 1st, etc)
- Make the courses invisible
Once the start date for each course has been reached, it will become visible to users who are assigned to the program.
